S6 - E7.1 - #SLDThinkTank2025 Part I: Hybrid Interventions Integrate AI and Human Care
This conversation is the opening segment of SurfingMASH's coverage of the Global Think Tank on Steatotic Liver Diseases (#SLDThinkTank2025) held in Barcelona in June. Co-hosts Louise Campbell and Roger Green are joined by Dr. Kristina Curtis, Managing Director of Applied Behaviour Change, a UK-based consultancy.
This discussion starts with co-host Jörn Schattenberg discussing the history and evolution of the first four Global Think-Tanks as the focus shifts from educating medical professionals about liver disease to incorporating a broader group of stakeholders, including politicians and non-hepatologist MDs, to break down siloes and create broader awareness. Co-host Louise Campbell describes the breadth of stakeholders necessary to address this pandemic fully. She explains how her work with transient elastography and the MyLife365.me app constitutes a form of behavioral therapy. Jörn describes the test as a diagnostic and comments that the treatment is what health professionals do with the results. Kristina says that the behavioral change that results comes from well-delivered feedback. She describes "hybrid interventions, digital interventions with a human in the loop." Louise discusses results from the EASL late-breaker that support these findings and goes on to discuss the role AI can play in medical practices.
